Abandoned Italian Renaissance Palace From A Ski Resort Tycoon

They have no respect for themselves or others.

@@janetfranklin2223 As I've said in many conversations when it has to do with a homeless people. There are hundreds of old world War II army camps that have been closed or partially closed. As you can imagine these camps recruited thousands upon thousands of young lads and if you knew anything about world War II it was huge. Each of these camps can house thousands of homeless people and can be ran as a town within themselves as a society. These army camps have everything that civilians enjoy in life. The only difference was you wore a uniform otherwise..... It's up to the politicians

My boyfriend's mom is from Sicily and she passed away three years ago they immediately locked the door of her bedroom nobody is allowed to go in there ever again it's based out of beliefs from old Roman times when they were into believing the old religions and superstitions it's like the person is still there in the house and my boyfriend and his sister still talk to their mother in the house like she's still there I wasn't raised this way in an Italian family this is mostly Southern beliefs but in some Northern Italians do believe it and practice it if you look where he's walking and you look on all the dressers and you see the old pictures those are old ants and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa's from the 1800s and they were living on that side of the house and they just never took care of it notice the difference between one side of the house where the lady was living and the older side were the older relatives were living big difference the pictures tell it all

[@michaelpenyard7129]

Another extraordinary visit, Lesley - amazing! As always, very respectfully presented, thank you! A couple of observations, if it helps. The first floor is the owner's accommodation (the 'piano nobile' in Italian); the end room was a Study, not a bedroom, with the small day-bed for siestas - you can see all the faded marks on the walls where the pictures used to hang. The Ground floor rooms would have been used for entertaining family/guests, with direct garden access. Interesting to see St George & the Dragon carved in several places, along with the winged horse, Pegasus. Down in the kitchen area, the built-in cupboards with metal grilles were not for keeping oven-ready animals/birds in, they were to keep food fresh, cool, and free of flies. The main Bedrooms had single beds, quite normal: it gets hot in Italy! In the wardrobe cupboard - they were not umbrellas, they were 'parasols' (sun shades). The floor above were all children's rooms, with single beds and children's pictures & paintings. The document referring to 'banca' was from a now busted Italian bank linked to the Vatican. Interesting possible link to the family who owned this property, perhaps - maybe someone could do some research? Let's keep the story going . . . .

Homes stay in the family names and stay in the family in Italy it's based on old Roman law! Now if the USA did this it eliminate homelessness because you always have a home to go to! Real estate laws are different there! Families lived longer in Italy Some people their homes have been in the family for hundreds of years some people get old and are the last ones like me I was born late and all the original family has passed away a long time ago So you find yourself alone ! So it's this way for a reason you always have a home to come to even though it maybe old and the land is there it's still your home !

I've watched 4 or 5 of your videos so far and this is the first place that actually has any STYLE as well as genuine craftsmanship. You might want to get hold of a furniture guide and learn some of the basic names of furniture - like the "settee" described as made out of "shares" which by now I KNOW you are aware are pronounced CH(AIRS). If you're going to do this repeat guided tour, repeating the same words and descriptions over and over with every house you visit, you may as well get it right. I love that you respect the property even in its abandoned state, and that you take precautions and watch where you step, and how you enter and leave. A shame that - as you pointed out, woodworm have already begun destroying what is there, and that what we are seeing will not remain in such good condition for much longer. Thanks, for the opportunity to see it before it disappears, forever.

Oventhe quiet peaceful music that you accompany your videos with. You show so much respect for the places you explore. I enjoy the stories you create for the families!

[@ginad4620]

Thank you for sharing. It’s a shame to let such a beautiful place to slowly decay away. Think of all the memories lost in time. Great video!! 👍🏼

[@BrosOfDecay]

Truely a shame thanks for watching Gina ❤️

[@hotrodroxie]

Where can we learn more about these places? We want to research it, perhaps invest! The ‘awe’ is in the backstory, which you never seem to know enough about!!

[@rethamoore4282]

This is GEORGEOUS! One of the most beautiful things I love to see are the staircases and all the ornate wood carvings on doors and ceilings.

[@judithkidd8704]

Beautiful, beautiful ceiling and chairs in the gold room!!!!

[@cmiller4171]

Beautiful palace. Hubby and I sit and watch all your videos. It would be so cool to have seen this palace in it's former glory. Take care,be safe and stay well! Chris and Dave

[@BrosOfDecay]

Awesome to hear that you enjoy the videos

[@suleskos.2743]

I dont know why, but as amazing as this place was and as much as I love your videos, I was just left feeling somewhat depressed. Nothing due to you, I enjoy your work very much. But this place just had a terrible sadness to it. Regardless, thank you.

[@BrosOfDecay]

Sorry for that feeling 😔

Watching all of these explorations makes me think about what would be left after I'm gone. What would people think of my life? Would it be easy for someone to figure out who I loved and what I had a passion for? It makes me think about my life as a whole. What will I leave behind? I'm a photographer and a musician. I'm pretty sure the music would be evident from all of my instruments haha! But I need to make more prints of my work to hang in my home. I love having someone comment on a photograph and being able to tell them I took it. We may as well use our time doing what we love because the time is so short.What are we going to leave behind? Thank you for doing these videos. I am fascinated by them all and would LOVE to go exploring myself. I absolutely love textures, ruin, and decay. It's so raw and there's such beauty in it to me. It's so beautiful and personal to step into a strangers life and simply observe and acknowledge that they were here. You are helping their lives be remembered. I think that's all any of us want really, is to be remembered.

Absolutely beautiful and fascinating! Just want to say,just because there are twin beds in a room, it doesn’t make it a children’s room.

[@BrosOfDecay]

That is true I did not think about that...

Back in the old days it was common for husband and wife to sleep in separate beds so if one got ill they both did not get ill.
